Anti-emboli stockings
are used instead of expensive compression bandages, and provides optimal compression of theater.
They are known from
the hospitals, where they will be handed out at the end of surgery.
They are also known as TED stockings.
The socks are made of soft polyamide (84%),
16% Elastane (latex
free).
Anti-embolism stockings
are designed for patients who can’t get out of bed (in medical terms also known as non-ambulatory patients). The purpose of these
socks is to help
prevent the accumulation of blood in the leg veins, in
situations that may be at increased risk
(after surgery or during birth), the formation of blood clots in the veins also known as venous thrombosis or
thromboembolism.
TED socks are
usually not intended for long-term
use on a patient. Anti-embolism stockings has graduated compression that are in the range of 18-23 mmHg.
Graduated compression stockings means that the applied compression
is the highest in the ankle area and gradually
decreases moving on up the leg. TED stockings
are designed with a practical "inspection
hole" in the toe area for easy
monitoring of the patient's
circulation and vital signs.
